Chapter 350: Reason

Ping Jin shook his head politely and said: "Tonight, there will be no others around the teacher's house, the teacher has ordered, only to see Peng Cheng, you alone!"

Peng Danling's eyes condensed slightly, nodded, and came to Wan Lao's house alone.

The door of Wan Lao's house was open, and there was no light in the courtyard, and the light in the house passed through the doorway, illuminating a place in the doorway, but it always felt a little weird.

Peng Danling walked to the door, blew out the lantern, and knocked on the door.

An old stern voice came from the room.

"Come in!"

Peng Danling walked into the house, there was no one in the room, and the same voice came from the room, "Prime Minister Peng, please sit inside!"

Peng Danling put the lantern on the table and hesitated for a while, just now he walked all the way, as Ping Jin said, there was no one!

But he went inside anyway.

The room is lit with incense made of herbs, and a faint aroma of herbs permeates the room, making people concentrate and breathe.

Wan Lao sat on the chair and closed his eyes.

In the past, when I saw Wan Lao, he was always busy with all kinds of things related to herbs, although he could answer questions, but he would hardly look at him, it was not that Wan Lao disrespected anyone, because he gave people the impression that he was too busy!

However, today he was not busy with the things he was usually busy with, but sat here quietly with his eyes closed.

However, Peng Danling had to admit that his closed eyes and recuperation were in line with the temperament he should have at his age, like a kind old man!

It's just that as soon as he opened his eyes, he broke Peng Danling's illusion just now.

Wan Lao looked at Peng Danling sternly and said, "I took advantage of you, this matter is indeed that I can't stand you!"

Peng Danling thought about how to speak tactfully, but he only wanted an answer, and he didn't really think about questioning Wan Lao. Because Wan Lao is the emperor's favorite minister and highly respected, even if he is dissatisfied with Wan Lao's behavior, he can't tear his face with him openly, but he never thought that Wan Lao would admit it so directly!

"I don't understand, if Wan Lao wants to deal with Jun's pharmacy, you can talk to me more directly, so that Benxiang can be prepared!" Peng Danling looked at him and said suspiciously.

Wan Lao shook his head and said: "I didn't tell you, because I didn't want to implicate Prime Minister Peng Cheng too deeply, and without the guidance of Jun's Pharmacy, Prime Minister Peng might not have thought for a while that I stole the herbs and blamed Jun's Pharmacy......"

Peng Danling wanted to explain that although Jun's Pharmacy helped him in this matter, he didn't think that Jun's Pharmacy just wanted to help him, and the forces behind Jun's Pharmacy were complicated, so it was better for him not to have anything to do with Jun's Pharmacy until he figured it out!

And Wan Lao in front of him is different, although he uses him, but he is an official in the same dynasty, such things happen from time to time, only if he does not stand on the opposite side, such a high-ranking and powerful person, the benefits to him far outweigh the disadvantages.

It's just that through this incident, Peng Danling has a heart, it's okay if this old man doesn't make a move, as soon as he makes a move, it will be stormy, and he will have to be more vigilant in the future!

"Wan Lao, Ben Xiang doesn't fully believe in Jun's Pharmacy, Ben Xiang just doesn't understand, why Wan Lao did this?"

"I know, that's why I didn't remind you to beware of Jun's Pharmacy, and now it seems that Jun's Pharmacy believes that you are just being used by me and will not target you!"

Peng Danling glanced at Wan Lao and asked hesitantly: "I don't know my true appearance, why do I have Wan Lao's love so much?"

"How old is Prime Minister Peng this year?" Wan Lao did not answer Peng Danling's question, but diverted the topic and asked.

"Thirty and one!" Peng Danling replied.

Wan Lao was silent for a while, and then said: "Twenty-five years ago, you were only six years old, and you had nothing to do with that matter, looking at the ministers of the court, you had nothing to do with that matter, but you were the only one in a high position, and the court needed people who didn't know anything about that matter, but had talents, so I hope you stay out of it!"

"What happened twenty-five years ago, and what does it have to do with Jun's Pharmacy?" Peng Danling asked in shock.

He felt that it was not a simple matter, that almost all the forces were involved, and that it would not be under his control.

Wan Lao looked at him slowly, and said sternly: "It's inconvenient for me to reveal too much to you about this matter, you just need to know that twenty-five years ago, many masters of Wenren Realm suddenly disappeared, and there is a huge threat to Wenren Country, and now Jun's Pharmacy may be related to Wenren Realm!"

Peng Danling has heard about the human realm, but isn't that a legend?

"Is it true that the thing about the human realm is heard?" Peng Danling asked in shock.

Wan Lao asked him, "Have you heard of Cao Geng?"

"That Yijie Buyi was famous in Shangcheng when he was young, and then disappeared inexplicably?" Peng Danling's eyes showed a little light, in a small number of character records, there are legends about this person, but only a few strokes, and the content is not the same, "Benxiang has seen this person in the character records." ”

"He didn't disappear inexplicably, because he was denounced, colluded with thieves who heard about the environment, and asked to resign and return to his hometown."

"Isn't he a cloth coat?" Peng Danling secretly sighed, the legend is really not credible.

"He has been an official, and his position is very high, although someone reported it at that time, but no definite evidence was found, Cao Geng asked to resign and return to his hometown, but since he returned to his hometown, those masters who heard the human realm have also disappeared!"

Peng Danling couldn't imagine that there was such a legendary thing, ordinary masters are a little arrogant, if it weren't for Cao Geng's absolute surrender, how could he be willing to be incognito for twenty-five years?

"Could Cao Geng also be a person in the Wenren realm?" Peng Danling asked.

Wan Lao shook his head certainly, "No one in the Wenren realm has an identity to check, but Cao Geng has it, and since he resigned and returned to his hometown, he has never gone out in Caojia Village." ”

Caojia Village!

This name made Peng Danling feel a little familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Wan Lao came back to his senses and said: "I said too much, this time I was just testing the Jun's Pharmacy, it seems that I guessed correctly!"

Peng Danling said in agreement: "Jun's Pharmacy is indeed unfathomable, but Wenren Realm has been lurking for twenty-five years, why did it suddenly appear at this time?"

"No matter what the reason is, once the Wenren Realm appears, it will be a huge disaster for the entire Wenren Country!" Wan Lao looked at Peng Danling, and said sternly, "You don't have such a thing as Jun's Pharmacy, I will explain it to the emperor myself, you go back!" ”

Peng Danling stood up to say goodbye to Wan Lao and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, still feeling that what Wan Lao said about Wenren was very clear in his mind.

Although Wan Lao didn't let him meddle in the affairs of Wenren's realm, he was the prime minister of a country after all, and seeing that Wenren's country was in trouble, would he let it go?
